The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Dutse Branch of Jigawa State, has condemned what it described as the unfortunate looting, vandalism, and destruction of government infrastructures and private businesses in the state by hoodlums masquerading as protesters.
A statement issued in Dutse, Jigawa State by the branch chairman Mustapha Mohammed Kashim Esq, said the association is shocked and dismayed over “the unpatriotic and riotous acts of some unscrupulous elements”, leading to the wanton destruction of critical infrastructures and assets of the state and local governments, as well as private businesses criminally destroyed and looted on August 1, 2024, across the state.
The statement stated, “The branch commiserates with the government and people of Jigawa State over the unfortunate incident and salutes His excellency, governor Namadi Danmodi’s proactive decision to impose a curfew within the state, thereby curtailing the perpetuation of the criminal activities of the hooligans.”
The chairman commended the security agencies in the state for their professionalism in handling the situation across the state.
It called on the commissioner of Police in Jigawa State to arrest anyone identified and swiftly commence the prosecution of all those found culpable in unleashing mayhem in the state, so as to serve as a deterrent against future recurrence.
